A bird on a snowboard - level 2, A12

This video was filmed in Russia. It is something unbelievable. A crow was on a roof. It took a piece of plastic, stood on it and went down the roof. It looked like snowboarding. Then the crow went up and tried to go again, but it was on the other side of the roof and it wasn’t a good place for snowboarding. So the crow went to the other side and went down the roof again. The crow really enjoyed the snowboarding.

Crows are very clever. They can use different things to get food. They have a very good memory and they can plan things in the future. They are more clever than other animals.

Scientists say that birds like crows can work with things like gorillas. Crows can also change things to get what they want. They have logical thinking. They learn new things from parents but they can also have their own new ideas.
